Extent of load
Duration of a training unit and its frequency per week:
The optimum extent of load is attained, if 65–75 % of the indivi-
dual heart / circulation performance is achieved over a longer
period.
Beginners should not begin with training units of 30-60 minutes.
The beginner’s training can be planned as follows in the first 4
weeks:
It is recommended that you perform approx. 5 minutes of exerci-
ses before and after every training unit, in order to warm up
and cool down. There should be a training-free day between
each two consecutive training units, if you prefer training sessi-
ons of 20-30 minutes 3 times a week later on in your training.
Otherwise, there is no reason why you should not train daily.
